Two of Rudyard Kipling's best known books share this volume: the Jungle Book stories of Mowgli among the wolves, and Kim, the tale of an orphaned boy moving between Indian roads and imperial intelligence work.
Placed together, they show the range Kipling worked in: animal fable written with younger readers in mind on one side, and on the other a long novel of disguise, travel and divided loyalty across northern India. Both are also read now for what they reveal about the colonial period in which they were written. This deluxe edition presents both works in English.
Good to know before buying:
• Contains The Jungle Book and Kim in one bound volume
• Mowgli's stories suit younger readers as well as adults
• Kim follows a boy along the Grand Trunk Road and into the Great Game
• Indian settings described in detail throughout both works
A fit for families, classic adventure readers and students of colonial-era writing, available in English at Boipoka.
